Effect of treatment method on corrosion inhibitor performance
- Petrolite Corp., St. Louis, MO (United States)
Two types of corrosion inhibitors are studied in laboratory tests simulating batch and continuous treatment methods. Type 1 is an inhibitor which is adsorbed on the corrosion product layer and forms an inhibitor film. Type 2 reacts with the corrosion product layer to form a protective film. With both inhibitors, the protection offered by continuous treatment at 100 to 1,000 ppm inhibitor compared favorably with batch treatment using neat or 10% solutions of inhibitor. The results show batch treatment of gas phase and liquid phase coupons with a 50% solution of Type 1 inhibitor gives optimum protection. The treatment gave 91% protection on the liquid phase coupons and only 70% protection on the gas phase coupons, indicating the gas phase coupons are more difficult to inhibit. Batch treatment with neat Type 2 inhibitor gave better protection than treatment with 10% solutions of the inhibitor in methanol, crude oil or resid oil. The Type 2 inhibitor at 100 ppm in a continuous application gave as much protection as batch treatment with neat or 10% solutions of the inhibitor in solvents.
